The MPC1000 is a powerful sequencer and sampler. The capabilities of the MPC1000 can be expanded when used as a sequencer to trigger external sound modules such as a Motif, Venom, etc. This guide walks through the procedure for using the MPC1000 to trigger an external sound module.

External Sound Module Setup

Setting up the M-Audio Venom

Launch the Vyzex Venom editor software. If you receive an error like the one displayed below, click Ok and then Cancel All respectively.

On the left hand side of the Vyzex Venom software, click the Global button.

In the Global Menu interface, locate the MIDI Receive Clock dropdown menu. In the menu select On. This will allow your Venom to receive MIDI clock from the MPC1000 or any external device. After selecting this, your Global menu changes are automtically Synced to the Venom.

The USB cable can now be disconnected from the Venom.
